What to do if you become famous too fast

Today's Chinese New Year is not as good as every year. It has long lost the taste of the year when I was a child. Firecrackers and fireworks are not allowed... The whole village is full of young people going back to compare each other. Of course, every family The sound of playing cards and fighting landlords in every household.

As for the scenes of happy dragon and lion dances, playing firecrackers, visiting to say goodbye to the old year, and children running happily in new clothes in my childhood memories, they will never return.

However, the foreign Chinatown in front of me still maintains the traditional customs of China.

This made Wang Huan extremely emotional.

There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and the sound of gongs and drums for celebration gradually knocked out the deep nostalgia in his heart.

Wang Huan suddenly felt homesick.

Finding a less lively corner, he took out his mobile phone and called his mother.

"mom?"

Mom's voice sounded: "Huanzi, didn't you say you went to some Chinatown? Why do you have time to call?"

Wang Huan said: "Well, it's in Chinatown. Listen to the sounds around you..."

After finishing speaking, he held his mobile phone in the air and faced the singing and dancing team.

After a few seconds, he continued: "Mom, did you hear that? It's very lively here, even more grand than Chinese New Year."

My mother seemed to relax a little: "That's good, this is your first time to celebrate the New Year abroad, just don't wrong yourself. It's time to eat and drink. If you don't know how to cook, go to a Chinese restaurant and order a few." Table meals, and have a happy New Year with other colleagues. Chinese New Year, isn’t it just for fun?”

"Ok, I know."

Wang Huan agreed, and continued to ask: "Mom, have you bought some New Year's goods at home? Remember to buy more things for the New Year, don't care about the money. And are there any reporters in Wangjiacun to harass you? If so, tell me."

My mother smiled and said, "Since you greeted the county last time, basically no reporters have come. And we two old guys, they can't interview anything. It's just that your dad and I are not planning to go back to Wangjia Village this year. For Chinese New Year, just go to the store in the county to get by. The first is that it is troublesome to go back, and there are a lot of trivial things. The second is that you are not at home for the New Year. Your grandparents have long been gone, so your father and I are the only two at home. People, it’s better to cook a few dishes in the small shop. And the business of the small shop has improved a lot during the Chinese New Year, and your father and I have a more real life here."

"what?"

When Wang Huan heard this, his heart trembled suddenly.

Not going home for the New Year?

He knows his parents well. Although the two have opened up a lot because of his relationship in the past year, the traditional concept is still very strong in their bones.For the New Year, it will always be the most important thing in their hearts.Every year's New Year's Eve dinner, parents attach great importance to it as a sacred thing.

And now...

They actually said that they would make do with it in their own shop.

Then there is only one reason, and that is because he did not celebrate the New Year at home for the first time in more than 20 years, and his parents did not want the two of them to face that empty room.

New Year's Eve dinner.

Reunion is called New Year's Eve dinner.

If the family cannot be reunited, it is not considered a Chinese New Year.

At this moment, Wang Huan's nose felt a little sore.He looked up at the lively scene in front of him, his eyes became dazed.

Chapter 1150 A request from a mother

Before his eyes appeared the figures of his parents busy in front of the clay stove every year during the Chinese New Year.

Lift the lid to vacate the white steam.

The house smells tangy.

Festive couplets pasted on the door.

All kinds of voices congratulating the New Year on TV.

Children playing outside the house.

That is the New Year!

"It's Chinese New Year, isn't that the thing?"

Hearing Wang Huan's voice, my mother smiled and said, "Okay, just do well abroad. Don't worry about me and your dad, we are both half-footed in the soil, and we can't live a good year." ?”

After exhorting him a few more words, he hung up the phone.

But Wang Huan's heart began to become uneasy.He heard the deep nostalgia and reluctance in his mother's words, because this was the first time he had left home for the New Year when he grew up, and he was still abroad.

He stood there blankly for a long while.

Wang Huan suddenly turned his head and asked: "Xu Yuan, do you think there is still a sense of the year now?"

Xu Yuan smiled: "Director Wang, are you asking about China? In fact, the Chinatown we see now is full of New Year flavor. And almost every year, media reporters from all over the world report on the Chinese New Year here. But in China, it’s far worse. These days, although people’s lives are getting better and better, family ties are getting weaker and weaker, and Chinese New Year has become a formalism.”

Wang Huan nodded silently.

Xu Yuan continued: "In China today, most people travel all over the country for life and work. During the Chinese New Year, many people no longer rush back to their hometowns, but just one or two phone calls and a few red envelopes. Even if It’s home, and it doesn’t have the same human touch as before, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It’s not like when I was a child, when almost all the migrant workers in the whole village, as long as the Chinese New Year came, even if they didn’t earn a penny all year round, Desperate to go back home in a green leather car or bus for thousands of miles. Many times, in order to buy a ticket to go home, I get up early in the dark at the train station or bus station and line up for several days. Even if I only buy a ticket in the end Standing ticket, also very happy."

As he spoke, a complex expression appeared on Xu Yuan's face.

The times are developing.

Life is progressing.

However, with the passage of time and the improvement of many people's lives, too many things have been lost unknowingly.But these things cannot be measured by money at all.

Wang Huan nodded slightly.

Xu Yuan said with emotion: "Actually, many times, I miss the Chinese New Year atmosphere even more, even if I didn't have enough food and clothing at that time. But a meal of meat and new clothes during the New Year can make me happy for a long time. And with my parents, grandparents The warmth of friends and relatives chatting around the fire is also worth remembering. But now, young people no longer feel that the New Year is so important. work, life, relationship... and other private lives. Because of this, many people choose not to go home, preferring to stay in the city where they work or travel, rather than go home to visit their elderly parents."

Wang Huan was silent for a while before asking: "What do you think caused this kind of thing to happen?"

Xu Yuan thought for a while and said, "First of all, it is because of the convenience of transportation and communication, right? Many people lost the feeling of homesickness that year. The second is the improvement of life, the reality and the bombardment of various information on the Internet, which made many people feel uncomfortable. They are willing to go back to their backward hometown, and even subconsciously reject their parents. Of course, there are also changes in the thinking of the younger generation. They feel that there is no need to go back honestly during the Chinese New Year. They can make this year more exciting outside. For example: with Carnival with friends, travel outside, etc. But in this way, some of the most important things between people disappear. Why is there a Chinese New Year? Why did we go home at all costs before? It is because of that concern , that emotion. But now, the times have developed, but the family relationship is gradually becoming thinner and alienated... Some things will never come back after all. "

When he said this, the middle-aged man's eyes turned reddish, and he didn't know what he remembered.

Claire seemed telepathic.

The little guy raised his head and asked, "Dad? Miss your wife?"

"Pfft~~~"

The emotions that Xu Yuan had accumulated with great difficulty were instantly crushed by this nondescript sentence, and he said angrily, "Is there someone who talks like that?"

Claire grinned: "Then what should I say?"

One big and one small started bickering.

Wang Huan leaned on a pillar and watched the lion dance not far away.
